Overview
US stock futures steadied on Friday following a selloff in the previous session, triggered by Walmart’s disappointing outlook, which raised concerns about economic growth.
On Thursday, the Dow dropped 1.01%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite lost 0.43% and 0.47%, respectively.
Walmart’s stock plunged 6.5%, weighing on other major retailers like Target (-2%) and Costco (-2.6%).
Investor sentiment further soured as Palantir fell 5.2% after reports of potential Pentagon budget cuts and a new stock sale plan by its CEO. On a brighter note, Celsius Holdings surged 34% in after-hours trading, driven by stronger-than-expected earnings and revenue for the fourth quarter.
Looking ahead, investors are focusing on the latest PMI readings and existing home sales data on Friday for more insight into the state of the economy.
